Verse 4.36.12

अज्ञेष्वसत्स्वभावोग्रसंसारगणगर्भिणी ।
ज्ञेषु प्रकाशरूपैव सकलैकात्मिका सती ॥ १२ ॥

ajñeṣvasatsvabhāvograsaṃsāragaṇagarbhiṇī |
jñeṣu prakāśarūpaiva sakalaikātmikā satī || 12 ||

The intellect presents its two different aspects to the wise and unwise people; to the ignorant, it shows its unreal nature in the realistic conception of the world, while to the learned it exhibits its luminous form in the identity of all things.
